wall plate Explanation: http://www.delston.co.uk/joists.htm Before the joists are fitted it is usually necessary to fit wall plates, this is usually 1" x 4" rough cut timber which is fixed to the top of the wall, usually with a combination of cement and fixings to make sure it is level. Wall plates allow easy, secure fixings when fitting the joists. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2008-05-04 17:07:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.thefreedictionary.com/wall plate 1.
